Quarter 2 - Module 2:
Chemical Bonding
 Target

In this module, you will understand that Chemical bonding is one of the
most basic fundamentals of chemistry that explains other concepts such as
molecules and reactions. Going through this module will make you understand what
is happening in the atoms during the formation of compounds.

Look at the periodic table. Did you notice the vertical arrangement of the
elements? This is called family or group. Notice the number in each group? Do you
know what information it gives you? It tells about the number of valence electrons.
Do you still remember the meaning of valence electrons? Valence electrons give you
the number of electrons at the outermost energy level of the atom. This is the
information you need to know in order for you to determine whether atoms transfer,
accept, or share electrons to become stable. Why do we need to talk about the
transfer or the sharing of electrons? You will discover the answer to this question as
you study this module.

After going through this module, you are expected to attain the following
objectives:

 Lesson Chemical Bonding

Chemical bonding is one of the most basic fundamental of chemistry that

explains other concepts such as molecules and reactions. Without it, scientists
wouldn’t be able to explain why atoms are attracted to each other or how products
are formed after a chemical reaction has taken place

Discover
Chemical bond is the attractive force that holds together the atom, ions or molecule
of chemical compounds.

Valence electrons are the outermost electrons which are involved in chemical
bonding to form compounds. This can be shown through the Lewis symbol. This is
composed of the symbol of element and dot/s that represent/s the number of valence
electrons.

Electronegativity is the measure of the tendency of an atom to attract electrons.

The higher its value, the higher its tendency to attract electrons. It increases from
left to right of the period and decreases from top to bottom of the group in the periodic
table of elements.

Ionization energy is the energy needed to pull or remove electrons from a neutral
atom. The lower the ionization energy, the easier it is to remove its valence electrons.
It increases from left to right of the period and decreases from top to bottom of the
group in the periodic table of elements.

Metals have low ionization energy and low electronegativity. They tend to give their
valence electrons during chemical bonding and become cations (positive ions). Non-
metals have high ionization energy and high electronegativity. They tend to accept
electrons during chemical bonding and become anions (negative ions)
Atoms form bonds with one another to become stable and attain the electronic
configuration of the noble gas nearest to it.

There are three types of chemical bond:

1. Ionic bond is formed by a complete transfer of electron/s, thus ion is formed. It

involves metal of low electronegativity and non-metals with high electronegativity.

2. Covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons that results in the formation of

covalent compound whose representative particle is a molecule.

There are two types of covalent bond: the polar covalent bond and the non-polar
covalent bond. If the electronegativity difference is between 0.5 - 1.8, polar covalent
bond is formed. It is usually formed between two non-identical non-metallic atoms
such as H2O, CO2 and HCl. Non-polar covalent bond is formed between two
identical non-metallic atoms such as N2,O2, and H2 (diatomic molecules) with the
electronegativity difference of 0- 0.4.

3. Metallic Bond is formed between two metal atoms through the attraction of the
freely- moving valence electrons and the positively charged metal atom.

The valence electrons of these metal atoms are called “sea of electrons”. What holds
the metal together are the strong forces of attraction between the positive nuclei and
the freely moving electrons.
Thermal and electrical conductivity in metals are due to the free flow of electrons in
solid phase. Other properties such as malleability, ductility and luster are related to
the kind of bonding metals have.

Ionic compounds are generally soluble in water with high melting point. It conducts
electricity when in solution because it gives off positive ion (cation) and negative ion
(anion).

Covalent compounds have low melting point and do not conduct electricity when
in solution. A polar covalent bond like sugar is soluble in water but non polar
covalent bond like wax is insoluble in water.

Great job! You can still recall your previous lessons. This time you will be
introduced to some basic concepts such as the number of valence electrons, Lewis
symbol, ionization energy, and electronegativity to fully understand why atoms form
compound

e. low ionization energy? _________________________________
f. high ionization energy? ________________________________

C. To check your level of understanding, write a one or two - sentence

description for each of the boxed concepts.
Valence electrons are the one involved in forming bonds to form compounds.
Knowing the number of valence electrons will help you illustrate how bonds are
formed. Do you know what valence electron are? Valence electrons are the
outermost electrons of an atom. You have found out that elements belonging to the
same group have the same number of valence electrons. How about electronegativity
and ionization energy? Did you know that electronegativity is a measure of
tendency of an atom to attract electrons? The higher its value, the higher its tendency
to attract electrons. Ionization energy is the energy needed to pull or remove one or
more electrons from a neutral atom. The lower the ionization energy the easier it is
to remove its valence electrons.
You are now ready to move further as we explore the periodic table. The next activity
will make you familiar with the Lewis symbol. It is composed of the symbol of
elements and dots that represent the number of valence electrons.

Activity 2: The Lewis Symbol

Objectives:

1. Illustrate the Lewis Symbol of some common metals and non-metals

2. Show the relationship among the number of valence electrons,
electronegativity and ionization energy.

Procedure:
1. Use Figure 1-3 in filling up the table below.
2. The Lewis symbol is composed of the symbol of elements and dots that represent
the valence electron. Distribute the number of valence electron in the symbol of
elements singly first in the four sides of the symbol before pairing.
Example: Phosphorus has 5 valence electron

electronegativity values and ionization energies of the elements?
_____________________________________________________________________________

4. What kind of element has the higher tendency to give its valence electrons?Why?
________________________________________________________________.

5. What kind of element has the greatest tendency to attract electron? Why?
________________________________________________________________________________.
The information from the previous activity will be a great help in
understanding chemical bonding. Atoms always strive to attain stable arrangement
of electrons. They can only become stable if their valence electrons have the same
arrangement as that of the noble gases (have 8 valence electrons except helium).
Based on the Octet Rule, elements gain or lose or share electrons to achieve the
electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas. Thus, after chemical bonding,
elements become isoelectronic (the same electronic configuration) with the nearest
noble gas in the periodic table.

Well done! Now that you already understand valence electron, electronegativity and
ionization energy let us proceed to the next activity on ionic bonding.

Activity 3. Electron Transfer

Objectives:

1. Illustrate how ionic bond is formed;

2. Show how ions are formed

Materials: Periodic table of elements from Figure 1-3.

Procedure:
Some metallic and non-metallic elements are given in Table 1. Write the
electronegativity values and ionization energy of the selected elements using Figure
2-3. Subtract the electronegativity value of the metallic element from the non-
metallic element. The first metal and non-metal element is given as a sample.
Note: A complete transfer of electron is possible if the electronegativity
difference is more than 1.9.
Write the Lewis symbol of metal and non- metal elements in Table 2. With the use of
an arrow, show the complete transfer of electrons. Indicate the formation of cation
and anion. The first metal and non-metal element is given as a sample.

Potassium (K) became isoelectronic or the same electronic configuration with

Argon (Ar) while Bromine (Br) became isoelectronic or the same electronic
configuration with Krypton (Kr) after ionic bonding. So, both Potassium and Bromine
became stable.

Questions:

1. What kind of element loses electron after ionic bonding?

________________________________________________________________________

What is formed after an atom loses electron/s? ___________________________

2. What kind of element gains electron after ionic bonding?

________________________________________________________________________

What is formed after an atom gains electron/s? ______________________

3. How are ions formed? ________________________________________________

4. How is ionic bond formed? _____________________________________________

5. How can you tell that ionic bonding will take place between metals and non -
metals?

6. Will all combinations of metals and non- metals form ionic bond? Why?

Not all combinations of metals and Non-metals form ionic bond. Take aluminum
and bromine as an example. Aluminum is a metal with 3 valence electron and
electronegativity value of 1.6 (EN= 1.6), while bromine is a non-metal with 7valence
electron and electronegativity value of 2.8 (EN=2.8).The electronegativity difference is
1.2.These two elements cannot form ionic bond because energy is not enough to facilitate
the complete transfer of electron. Instead, another bond is formed called Covalent bond
which is the sharing of electrons. Both aluminum and chlorine attain their stability by
sharing their valence electrons.

Covalent bond has two types: Polar covalent bond and nonpolar covalent
bond. If the electronegativity difference is less than 1.9 but more than 0.4, polar
covalent bond is formed. Electronegativity difference between 0 - 0.4 results to a non-
polar covalent bond

Table of electronegativity Difference

> 1.9 to 4.0: Ionic

Example: NaCl Na EN=0.9 Cl EN= 3.0 Difference = 2.1

> 0.5 to 1.8: Polar Covalent

Example: H2O H EN= 2.1 O2 EN = 3.5 Difference = 1.4

> 0.0 to 0.4: Non-Polar Covalent

Example : Cl2 Cl EN = 3.0 Cl EN= 3.0 Difference= 0

Good Job! The next activity will help you understand how covalent bonding
takes place.

Activity 4: Sharing is Caring

Objectives:

1. Illustrate how covalent bond is formed;

2. Identify types of covalent bond

2. How is covalent bond formed?
3. Is it possible for metal and non- metal to form polar covalent bond? Why?
4. Give the difference between polar covalent bond and non-polar covalent bond.

Great Job! You already understand what type of bond will form between metal
and non-metal and between two non-metals. How about between two metals? Is it
possible for them to form a bond? Try the next activity.

In metallic bonding, electrons are not moving around one nucleus. The
positive atomic nuclei of the metal are surrounded by electrons moving freely
throughout a piece of metal. These moving electrons in metals are called a “sea of
electrons”.
Activity 5: Float like a Balloon

Objective: Understand how metallic bonding is formed and relate the properties of
metals to the kind of bond they are made of.

Materials: 10- 15 balloons

Procedure:
1. Learners are given inflated balloons
2. Each of the participants is an atom of some metal (e.g. Silver)
3. Each of the balloons is an electron belonging to that atom.
4. Each participant tosses his/her electron freely from hand to hand into the air and
gently hits other electrons that are in the air, much like a volleyball game with many
balloons being used instead of one ball.
5. Everybody wants to play with the balloons, so this keeps the atoms to be together.

Questions:

1. Why do atoms of metals not repel each other while all are positively charged?
2. How do ions of metals form metallic bond?
3. When is the strength of metallic bonding used to benefit humankind?

6. List down the metallic properties that you remember in Table 6. Try to explain
why metals possess those properties.

Activity 6: Test Me!

Objective: Recognize ionic compound from covalent compound in terms of melting

point, solubility in water and electrical conductivity.
Materials:

Sugar (sucrose)
Candle Wax (grated paraffin)
Salt (Sodium Chloride)
Vetsin (monosodium glutamate)
Vials or small bottles
Metal spoon
Distilled water
Alcohol lamp
Medicine dropper
Improvised electrical conductivity

Procedure:

Part I. Test on Melting point (with supervision of parents/guardian)

Generally, ionic solids have very high melting point temperatures. Covalent
molecules have a lower melting point. Polar Covalent molecules have higher melting
point than non-polar covalent molecules

1. Get a pinch of salt, place it in a spoon and heat using alcohol lamp in a minute.
Do the same with sugar, grated candle wax and vetsin. Record your observation in
Table 7.

Part II. Test on Solubility

1. Place a pinch of salt, sugar, grated candle wax and vetsin to individual vials then
label. Fill 1/2 of each vial with distilled water and stir. Observe the solubility of each
sample. Record your observation in table 7. Save the sample for the next activity.

Part III. Test on Electrical Conductivity

When ionic compound dissolves in water, the ions are often pulled apart by the polar
water and become free to move in a solvent. The movement of this charged ions in a
solvent, allows the conduction of an electrical current. Undissolved solids or polar
covalent solids do not form ions in water thus, conduction of current is not possible.

1. Immerse the wires of the conductivity tester into each of the mixtures in Part II.
Using a paper towel/tissue, clean the wires of the tester to avoid contamination
between tests. Record your observation in table 7.
